We were resting in bed and getting ready to go out.

I was able to prepare quickly because I didn’t have much to prepare, but Lewen was quite surprised.

‘Don’t women usually take a long time to get ready?’

However, Llewen finished preparations at a similar speed to me.

I left the house thinking that it was amazing and how quick I was to get ready.

As I leave the cabin, the scenery I saw when I first entered this space unfolds again.

You can see the sound of tree branches fluttering in the wind, the chirping of birds as they flap their wings, and various animals and plants living in nature.

My eyes were automatically taken by the scenery that always brings admiration.

Lewen asked with a faint smile upon seeing me like that.

“Isn’t it amazing?”

Is it an illusion that it sounds as if he is amazing?

Looking at his proud expression, it didn’t seem like he was mistaken.

However, the scenery I was seeing right now was so beautiful that even saying it was amazing felt like a shame.

“Awesome.”

“Right?”

Her gaze turned to nature in harmony.

“It is a blessing from the Goddess. Isn’t it amazing?”

There was a smile on Lewen’s lips as she said that.

I looked at her like that.

A smile that is refreshing and beautiful.

She said it was a blessing from the goddess, but…

My thoughts were a little different.

Because the current scenery was solely a product of her creation.

Although the source of that power is a goddess, the current nature was created only by her, not by the goddess or anyone else.

“I think Llewen is even more amazing.’

“Suddenly?”

“It’s not something that happened suddenly, it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.”

It wasn’t just something I said.

From a long time ago, I thought she was amazing and respected her.

It was no different now.

I still think that Llewen is a person who deserves more respect than anyone else.

He spoke again.

“She lived alone as a saint of the church for 15 years, and even though she was carrying a lot of burden, she never showed her displeasure. He went forward only for the happiness of many people.”

Not your own happiness or the happiness of your friends, but everyone’s happiness.

She just looked at it and ran.

“That’s because I’m in the position of a saint.”

“Even if they were in the position of a saint, who could do it like Lwen? The 15 years you have walked have helped many people. That’s why I respected Llewen. I still respect you now. So don’t belittle yourself too much. You are the most wonderful person I know.”

She suddenly rose to the status of a saint at the young age of 10.

Naturally, since she was given the position of saint at such a young age, she must have been under a lot of suspicion and pressure.

However, she did not give in to him.

Rather, more and more people have endured with only one wish: to be able to see a comfortable life.

The more she proves that she has the abilities befitting the position of a saint, the more burdens she carries.

Would I really be able to do like her just because I was there?

As such questions arise, clear answers emerge.

‘impossible.’

It was impossible.

Who can sacrifice themselves for 15 years, overcome a lot of pressure and doubts, and bear the burdens that come with it, while looking only at the happiness of others?

I could confidently say that even if I searched the entire world, there was only one person who could do that, Llewen.

If someone asks me who is suitable for the position of saint, I would say that she is the only person who would give up 15 years of her life for the happiness of people she has never met. I will shout like that.

“You are a cooler, stronger, and better person than anyone else. Although she is now retired, many people will still remember the sacrifices she made. No, I won’t forget it. Because that’s how I’m going to make it.”

Because she is that kind of person that I have seen all this time, I was able to speak confidently and clearly.

She’s a wonderful, strong person.

I can swear to heaven without any shame.

I’ll make sure people don’t forget her.

“So don’t worry too much about it.’

I smiled at Llewen one last time.

I thought it was somewhat comforting, and I was nodding my head in satisfaction.

“Huh… ”

Suddenly I heard such a sound.

I looked at her with doubt in her wet voice.

“Ugh… ”

I was taken aback by the sight of Llewen sobbing with tears soon flowing.

‘what?’

Did my consolation actually open up her wounds?

Or did I say something wrong?

Seeing her crying so sadly, my thinking circuit was momentarily disturbed, and for the first time in my life, I felt like I was having a brain freeze.

What should I do?

Should I hit my head and apologize right now?

It was a moment when I wondered what to do with the endless thoughts.

“Huh… !”

Lewen was hugged to me, shedding sad tears like a child.

Then, as he rubbed his face in my arms and shed more tears, I realized that my worries were simply unfounded.

I smiled slightly and hugged her tightly to help her calm down.

***

An office in the empire.

There was a woman lying face down on the desk in the office.

The woman’s name is Lena.

He was Kariel’s exclusive aide and secretary.

She stared blankly into space with tired eyes.

“Huh… ”

She moans with difficulty.

She was handling work as usual, but recently, due to a series of overlapping tasks, she couldn’t sleep at all.

She was in charge of all the recent events, her duties as the warrior Kariel, and her duties as Empire Goku, and she was at a point where she had no body left.

“What should I do… ?”

She usually handles most of the work.

Although there were times when I didn’t trust others to entrust it to me, I had a compulsion to do it myself when it came to Kariel’s work.

However, when it became more than she could handle, Lena seriously wondered if she should entrust the job to someone else.

‘Even so, I don’t have anyone to entrust it to… ‘

Lena’s resources and abilities are outstanding.

This fact can be seen just by looking at Kariel and perfectly handling all matters related to him for five years.

Someone whose abilities are comparable to that of Lena?

Realistically, it had to be difficult to find.

It’s not like they don’t exist at all, but Lena was worried because those people would already be occupying a place in other forces.

‘There is no one I can trust in the first place… Oh, that will work.’

Lena thought of someone who was quite capable and trustworthy.

Ilen has come close to the level of being called a fanatic.

On the surface, it seems like she doesn’t know any of this, but Lena does.

Illen shows much greater ability in this respect than I thought.

‘If I teach you just a little bit of work, you’ll do it right away.’

Of course, since he was a psychopath who was only crazy about one person, there was a high chance that he would reject her, but Lena also knew how to make him not reject her.

‘A bitch who is crazy about Kariel.’

Illen will do whatever she can to help Kariel.

Is she ignoring the current situation that could get her in trouble?

‘That can’t be possible.’

The probability of Illen rejecting it converged to 0.

After making a quick decision, Lena took out a crystal ball for communication.

The way to activate the communication crystal ball is to pour in magical energy, but ordinary people like her cannot use magical energy.

But there was a way to make it work.

Lena opened the desk drawer.

As she looked inside the drawer, she took out a small cylindrical glass tube.

Blue light shimmered inside the glass tube.

Lena opened the coffin lid and sprinkled it into the crystal ball.

Then the crystal ball operates.

‘It’s not the original method, but it’s not bad either.’

The coffin Lena took out was a coffin containing separate magic power.

It was designed so that even ordinary people who used magical power could use it.

Although magic is impossible, it was necessary when using furniture or products that required magic power.

Considering that magic engineering has been developing at an astonishing rate recently, this was a product that more and more people would be looking for in the future.

‘I need to take the lead quickly.’

Lena, who was already making plans for the future, quickly came to her senses.

Even thinking about this now, I had to finish all the remaining tasks first.

Lena immediately contacted Ilen.

Tiriring!

Not long after the communication sound rang, a voice was heard.

[Lena?]

“Ilen. I have something to tell you. For your information, this is to help Kariel.”

[ah… ]

A very different reaction than expected.

Lena asked him.

“What’s going on?”

[that is… One of the paladins has disappeared. That too completely.]

After hearing those words, Lena was speechless for a while.

The silence continued for a while.

“Yes!?”

Lena broke the silence again and a look of astonishment came out of her open mouth.
